1 Mosebok 46
1 Israel for dit med allt det honom tillhörde. Och då han kom till BerSaba, offrade han ett offer sins faders Isaacs Gudi.
So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
2 Och Gud sade till honom om nattena i ene syn: Jacob, Jacob. Han sade: Här är jag.
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 Och han sade: Jag är Gud, dins faders Gud, frukta dig icke att fara in i Egypten; förty, der vill jag göra dig till ett mägtigt folk.
God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
4 Jag vill fara dit med dig, och vill åter föra dig derut. Och Joseph skall lägga sina hand uppå din ögon.
I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
5 Då for Jacob ifrå BerSaba. Och Israels barn förde Jacob sin fader, med sin barn och hustrur, på vagnomen, som Pharao hade sändt till att föra dem med.
Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
6 Och togo sin boskap och håfvor, som de förvärfvat hade i Canaans lande, och kommo så in uti Egypten, Jacob och all hans säd med honom:
So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
7 Hans barn och hans barnabarn med honom, hans döttrar, och hans barns döttrar, och all hans säd.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
8 Desse äro Israels barns namn, de som kommo i Egypten: Jacob och hans söner. Jacobs förstfödde son Ruben.

Altogether there were 66 people who were Jacob’s descendants who went to Egypt with him. That number does not include his sons’ wives.
27 Och Josephs barn, som honom vordo födde i Egypten, voro två själar: Så att alla Jacobs hus själar, som kommo in i Egypten, voro sjutio.
Including Jacob and Joseph and Joseph’s two sons who were born in Egypt, there were 70 members of Jacob’s family when they were all there in Egypt.
28 Och han sände Juda för sig till Joseph, att han skulle visa honom vägen till Gosen; och de kommo in i landet Gosen.
Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
29 Då spände Joseph före sin vagn, och for ut emot Israel sin fader till Gosen. Och då han fick se honom, föll han om hans hals, och gret svårliga på hans hals.
Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
30 Då sade Israel till Joseph: Nu vill jag gerna dö, efter det jag hafver sett ditt ansigte, att du ännu lefver.
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Joseph sade till sina bröder och sin faders hus: Jag vill fara upp, och undervisa der Pharao, och säga till honom: Mine broder och mins faders hus är kommit till mig utaf Canaans land;
Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
32 Och äro herdar, ty det är sådana folk, som med boskap umgå plägar; deras får och fä, och allt det de hafva, hafva de fört med sig.
The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
33 Då nu Pharao varder eder kallandes, och säger: Hvad är edar handel?
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 Så skolen I säga: Dine tjenare äro folk, som med boskap umgå ifrå vår barndom allt härtill, både vi och våre fäder, på det I må få bo i det landet Gosen; förty alle herdar äro såsom en styggelse för de Egyptier.
answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
